BLE5 advData length

stepik

Hi,

I'm working with nRF52832 chip following the example "ble_app_beacon". I see the advertising packet is limited to 31 bytes only. However, I'd like to take an advantage of BLE 5 spec and increase the size to 255 bytes. Is it possible? I tried to modify:

/**@brief Maximum size of advertising data in octets. */
#define BLE_GAP_ADV_MAX_SIZE            (255)

in "ble_gap.h", but it seems to have no effect.

Can somebody advise please?

Many thanks

    Hi,

    S132 V5.0.0 does not support Advertising extensions. It supports one advertising set with 31 bytes of advertising or scan response data. As mentioned in the other post, Advertising extensions will be supported by a version of S132(and S140), in a release coming later this year.

    Hi Sigurd,

    I's been a year since you were promising the avd packet length extension 'coming soon'.  Now we have SoftDevice release v 6.0.0 but packet extension is still nowhere. Therefore I would like to ask: Will it be ever released or will you just keep promising? Our project is reliant on this. Can you please give us some specific dates? Will it be released let say by the end of September this year?

    Thank you
